It's broken.
It's in pieces.
Do I swallow them all?
Absolutely not!
You have to take them in order.
There's 5 pieces.
Well, start with the biggest,
and end with the teensy weensy one.
In order.
Here goes.
The kleenex will ruin it.
If you only knew the memories the dress brings back to me.
The sea?
The mountains?
Both.
The Borromean Islands?
Yes, six in the evening,
the scent of the lemon trees, the Kursaal orchestra.
She was so pale, so fragile
More than I?
Out of my sight?
Who? What? Is it?...
What, out of her sight? The dress or the girl?
It's the same ones.
They talk strange.
It's a whole tear, era, school.
Grand tragedy!
smells like mothballs.
Let's continue.
Medium big.
How is your hand?
Better. But I must be careful.
Every moment is dangerous.
Careful. They are fragile.
Miss Angele. Come quickly.
They're doing the same thing as yesterday.
They'll do the same tomorrow.
The same, every day.
They do it full time? - They'do it perpetually.
Permanent? - Perpetual.
They're doing a perputal day.
How about that.
What's next.
Alright, I'm going to do it.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Hello Madlyn.
Did you sleep well?
Today is a big day.
You know I hate little games.
Come, be a sport, Miss.
What a heady scent
Well?
Well what?
Don't keep me waiting.
Which hand?
Was it in the right or the left hand yesterday?
I don't remember.
You could lose but you always win
You know it is forbidden her.
Madlyn, I've told you not to hide under the pillow.
What do you mean?
I don't understand.
I've already told you, the harm you do her.
I do her no harm.
Don't get involved in this, Olivier.
I know better than you how to handle her.
I've taken care of her for 8 months.
Let me act alone. I know better that you what I do.
The child is resting. Please lower your voices.
I don't know if I should understand you.
After all...
think what you like.
Today, I'm Angéle.
Yesterday it was me.
But it's still her.
I wonder what she's up to.
And him, what's he up to? Who's he with?
With Camille? With Sophie?
With Camille and Sophie and Angéle.
What do those ladies want from him?
That's what we may learn in the next episode.
What did you want to say?
Nothing you don't already know, deat Camille.
I'm listening...
You can choose the wrong day for trying to seduce Olivier.
Is that all?
You pretended to ignore the vow he made when his wife died.
What's vow?
My sister spent her time trapping people with her vows.
Don't insult the day when you speak of her.
But, if I must repeat it all to you...
Know, that Nathalie made him swear...
not to remarry, to preserver the happiness of their child.
As long as Madlyn live, I've always known
I was there. I heard her.
"Because I don't want Madlyn to suffer what I suffered at her age".
It's a dreadful vow.
It's wrong to make someone swear such a thing.
Perhaps.
but I was witness to this vow, I am the guarantor.
If you try to disregard it, I will stop you.
I promised Nathlie Her wish will be respected.
Let's make a wish.
Despite my watchfulness, I lost the key to the red cupboard.
What key?
Have you seen it?
There's a running battle here.
Yes, something's going on.
I think one of them is a real slut.
And you know which? The blonde.
With here fragile airs and stuck-up ways.
She's too secretive.
Thet's a professional bias, watch out for blondes and all
It's too obvious that she's guilty
for her to be.
Funny thinking.
We'll decide by the judgement of Solomon
The one who ends up with it...
wins.
Alright, hang on tight.
He doesn't have any.
He's had it.
There's another.
Monsieur wouldn't consider the mountains?
A dreadful thing has happened!
Do not go in there!
Do you think it could be...
Angele?
But, the next morning...
I'm sick.
Me too.
I want to sleep.
Me too, in fact I'm sleeping.
My legs are gone.
Mine too. But who's going...
You're smart.
Who's going to go today?
I'm going.
You want to go? You're dying to go.
You're there already.
It's not worth going.
We have to be serious.
Let's leave it to fate.
Got a coin?
I'll look in my shoe.
No more money.
Be careful, and give me back my change.
I'll eat it.
It's Swiss chocolate.
Heads I win, tails you lose.
Damn!
I'm struck dumb!
Watch out!
Tails, you lost...
How odd...
I'm going to give you...
A little massage?
An artifice.
What colour?
Pink.
Mauve.
Marshmallow.
Better than red, give me your shoulder.
My little tattoo.
What are you doing?
A double number.
It stings.
Double 33.
Don't cough.
What do I do with it now?
You can go there.
Take your bicycle.
Watch out for traffic.
If I never come back...
kiss Harold goodbye for me.
Would you stop staring at me, you.
Put on some make-up, your nose is shiny.
The day...
is divided into 4 parts, corresponding to the 4 seasons,
and the 4 weeks of the month.
Morning or spring,
noon or summer,
period of growth. Afternoon autumn,
period of realisation.
This is Guilou.
How are you?
I've thought a good deal. - About what?
We're through.
What?
Since the day before yesterday...
What is this...
I've decided.
Is this really Gregoire?
I've decided. You wanted it this way.
Decided what?
Could you let me get a word in edgeways.
How did things go after the square?
You're the one who wanted it to end badly.
Badly?
I'm becoming a Trappist.
Is this a game? You're pulling my leg.
I'm becoming a Trappist.
We will never speak again.
You're talking to me now.
Tell me what's on your mind.
If you want to break, we will
We already have broken up.
I just want to tell you that it's your fault.
What's my fault?
We can only say goodbye.
So goodbye.
A Trappist!
Oh, shit!
Go masturbate in the daisies like a Gregorian!
"To Julie, the child has become a nun..."
He's hanging on.
Power and virtues...
of baby dinasours' eyes
The favorite food
of the baby dinasaur.
who was a discerning gourmet,
was clover.
for maximum efficiency.
use the minimum
the word clever
Replace it with clover
Of course...
Beirut?
Mother?
Oh excuse me.
I interfered...
Celine? She's out.
What?
It's important.
I see...
Of course.
You can count on me.
I'll tell her.
Alright.
What's this?
Where's the Mandrakore? Who are you?
Don't get excited man, it makes you twitch.
The Mandrakore is out.
She gave me the scoop.
Don't worry. I'm show people.
Who are you anyways?
Haven't you heard?
of the Kamakazi?
Your men are leaving!
Do your best.
Stay cool. It's in the bag.
Excuse the delay. Artists, you know...
The Mandrakore is pure gold!
Naive, I'm so naive
Red-headed miss, fingers of bliss.
Naive, I'm so naive!
When I see you, sirs.
If I want to make you sigh,
I light up your eyes.
If I want to do more,
I just lay it on.
Bluestocking, that's what I am.
The shady miss, a touch like a kiss.
Bluestocking, that's what I am.
When I see you, gadzooks.
I have no heart, not even for a guy.
Life's played tricks on me
When I pick up a man, I say right away,
you'll be alright with me.
But when he's through the door,
old loves come back once more.
And memory reappears.
Like a dream...
of a past, that is mine.
And kills me!
Excuse me, but I ...
I always allow myself to be overcome by...
irrepressible waves of feeling.
When I was childish,
they told me I was a real star...
a shooting star...
and floating star, because...
I had a big rayon tutu.
They said I was suppleness itself,
because I could put my legs around my neck,
and now,
I want to express my temperament, my spontaneity.
I'm very lively.
And..I can do... the candy woamn,
and the headstand woman,
on my little finger,
and the Snake Woman.
And...
lots of other things...
And you, anyway, what can you do?
Yeah, show me what you can do.
You're here oggling me.
Oggling every inch of me...
Behind refrigerated glasses...
You're not worth beans!
Bunch of...pimps!
Cosmic pimps...
cosmic twilight pimps!
Voyeurs and perverts!
What is all this?
Come and get me!
Come on!
I'll show you!
Want some fun, bunch of idiots...
Are you chicken?
Come on. Let's go!
Well?
Oh, shit!
Wait! Wait! It's a misunderstanding.
It's nothing really.
Wait, I'll take the hairs off.
OK. Both at once.
Good morning, Miss Angele.
Good morning, Madlyn.
But why this violence?
These flowers are so pretty.
I thought I'd told Mlle Camille
that for children, the sweetest smels
are harmful odours.
These flowers are so pretty.
I thought I'd told Mlle Camille
that for children, the sweetest smell are harmful odours.
Do you think?
What is pretty does no harm.
But if you say so...
Mademoiselle takes risks.
I'll leave you the roses... because of their thorns.
Good does not always do good.
Mademoiselle takes risks.
I'll leave you the roses... because of their thorns.
Good does not always do good.
Am I disturbing you?
You never disturb me.
I was thinking...
that today is..
Madlyn's first birthday since her mother died.
And since I look so like my sister...
What are you saying?
Olivier, give me the key to the trunk.
I don't want to see those dresses again.
May I please have the key to the little chest.
I understand your reticence.
But, perhaps today...
Madlyn would be so happy.
Look at me. Nathalie's dresses would so become me.
How lucky that we have the same complexion.
I don't know if I should understand you.
I thought that today...
Now, finally...
I should have those dresses.
Mother left them to the one who could marry first.
Since my sister's death, they've been kept reverently.
They lie languishing in the attic,
wrapoed in mothballs and rose leaves.
The same styles return every 20 years.
I could wear them as they are.
Think of Madlyn!
How happy she'd be!
Excuse me, my dear.
It's nothing.
Did you sleep well?
Today is a big day.
You know I hate little games.
Come, be a sport Miss.
What a heady scent!
It's getting deep.
I've told you not to hide under the pillow.
What do you mean?
I've already told you, the harm you do her.
I do no harm.
Don't get involved in this, Olivier.
Will she get him?
The child is resting. Please lower your voices.
I don't know if I should understand you.
That's what you like.
See, I told you.
But I didn't believe it.
Someone's used my syringe again.
It's inadmissible and it could be dangerous
Madlyn's still asleep, should we wake her?
He does not wish her awakened.
He has spoken to you about it?
No, it is I who am troubled.
These frequent naps...
Thiss sleepiness is abnormal.
He claims it is hereditary.
The scent of these plants certainly doesn't help.
Sophie, look what I've drawn for you.
I didn't frighten you?
Isn't my flower pretty?
Do not say that word.
If you only knew the memories this dress brings back to me.
The sea? The mountains?
Both.
The Borromean Islands?
She's not bad, you know.
I know I've already seen it.
...the Kursaal Orchestra
She was so pale, so fragile.
More than I?
Out of my sight!
Who? What? Is it?...
That! That thing!
You know quite well.
Your whims again, Sophie.
Come with me
I must speak with you.
What did you want to say?
Nothing you don't already know, dear Camille
I'm listening.
You choose the wrong day for trying to seduce Olivier
Always the same thing. I'm fed up.
But if I must repeat it all to you..
know that Nathalie made him swear...
Stop. I'm having fun.
It's funny.
You'll tell me later.
Good night.
"Because I don't want Madlyn to suffer what I suffered at her age."
It's dreadful vow.
It's wrong to make someone swear such a thing.
What a bitch!
Despite my watchfulness, I lost the key to the red cupboard.
What key?
Have you seen it?
So she took a bottle.
On it was written, "drink me".
She drank it,
the liquid inside it,
and became tiny.
Mummy!
Help me!
Take care of her.
Don't be afraid. Why are you hiding?
That was Camille. It wasn't your mother.
Don't be afraid. Do you want a candy?
I have one here.
It's over.
I'll never be able to.
She hates me.
I'll never get her to love me.
I am tired,
discouraged again.
It's just as it was 10 years ago.
when Nathalie and I were young.
She loved me either.
But she was so clever.
It was never Nathalie's fault It was always mine.
Why are you so shy, Camille?
Why aren't you more like your sister?
You must get out. Let's go dancing to the theatre, to the country.
Come, Camille, come!
She was the first to say those things.
But I was silent and refused everything.
Why?
Why, they wondered.
But I knew why.
I knew what was hidden behind her kindness,
her compassion.
yes, her compassion
She wanted to destroy me, to make me disappear...
And she...
What a shock?
I don't see anything now.
Let's put them back in. See what's next.
Wait. I want a smoke. Intermission? OK?
No. I'm going on.
OK, you continue, then you can tell me about it.
Wait. I'm coming too.
Coming? Hurry?
You are very gloomy.
I don't like to see you thus.
Your concern touches me, Sophie. But I have good reason.
Camille's appertion?
Camille is not the question.
I understand.
It's what she has awakened in you.
Don't think of the past. Think of the present,
the birthday we are celebrating.
Look.
The doll I bought for Madlyn.
I'm sure she'll love it.
You are second mother to her.
You are a second mother to her.
Everthing I've done.
I've done for you, too.
Don't forget it.
And I hoped that you could perhaps...
that we could....
Alas, Sophie...
Madlyn can draw us no closer.
But you would wish it?
I wanted to be sure.
Nathalie's vow...
I respect it as much as you do.
But you won't hear of it anymore.
There's not much of what I thought.
Not at all.
How is your hand?
Better
But I must be careful.
Every moment is dangerous.
Happy birthday, Madlyn!
You know, inspiration is so fragile...
Please.
You can't refuse.
Madlyn would be so happy.
Please, for us.
You are cruel.
A sonata.
Another sonata.
How deep!
No, I don't know.
I'll begin again.
My hurt hand...
You are so beautiful with all this red.
It's said you are the best catch in New England.
I must put my glass down.
It's divine.
I'm drunk!
So beautiful...all this blue.
With this blue, really?
Hold me, Olivier!
I've lived only for you. My heart followed your steps.
Oh the naughty girl!
The rogue.
A very high tower, an enchanted prince,
and a tree with daggers.
The Blue Bird!
Yes!
What blue bird?
You don't know that story?
It's very funny. An enchanted prince.
wishes to join his beloved in her prison tower.
But a wicked witch put daggers and razor blades in the tress
and the bird is wounded.
and bleeds...
Oh stop! All that blood!
Blood ties must be renewed.
Must I tell this ghastly story to its end?
My dear friend, what you have begun you must complete.
Excuse me, it's time for the child's nap.
Madlyn, be good.
Don't worry, my dear. You won't be disturbed.
I haven't often the chance to tell you
how satisfied I am with your services.
I am given compensation accordingly.
Not in the way I would like.
Madlyn is very lucky...
very lucky...
I finished.
Me too.
Madlyn is very lucky.
I'm so disappointed.
Listen...
It's just padding.
We don't know who did it.
We don't know anything more.
What do we do?
It's full of holes..
I don't know. It's like swiss cheese.
We don't know the end.
I hate that.
Anyway, we're not going back.
Listen. I have an idea. At the library...
At the library?
Take this off. I can't stand it.
Bend your head forward.
Wait.
The sun is coming up.
In a return to the source...
as natural as temporal...
It's the beginning.
...of the four basic elements.
Water.
Air.
You don't think it's polluted?
No, I don't think so.
Very gently!
It's the most fragile part.
You can pour it all.
Earth.
Clover.
How much?
Two stalks.
No, two big ones.
The same size.
Wait, a little one's cheating.
Fire.
The fire will shoot out from the four cardinal points...
and from it's conflagration you'll ontain...
the memory potion...
called "herbed wine" by the ancients.
Because of the clover.
P.S. Beware of side effects.
Take in small doses.
OK, let's go.
We'll both start
at the same time.
Can Harold have some?
A little drop.
One drop.
He swallowed it.
It's good.
Very good. Some more...
It's so good.
Let's have another. It's a part-time.
But I feel funny...
I feel fine.
But, really fine.
Mademoiselle takes risks.
Compared to the candies...
Someone's used my syringe again. It's inadmissible,
and could be dangerous.
Madlyn's still asleep, should we wake her?
He does not wish her awakened.
Your whims again, Sophie.
Help me!
Take care of her!
I knew what was hidden behind her kindness her generosity.
She shone all the brighter to the point of blinding them all.
She knew how to destroy me, make me disappear.
stiffle me...
I had my own kingdom.
It was enough, my house, my flowers...
my picture books...
my travel books...
but they had to take it away.
Your sister's getting married.
They'll come to live here, it's logical, it's family.
And they love each other...
They must have secrets, they must be left alone.
Wouldn't you like to travel, Camille?
See the places you've dreamed of?
Borneo, Shangai,
Macao, the Sunda Islands...
With gentle words they drove me out,
and with so much money...
I travelled a lot.
Around the world twice,
but it was as if another were doing it.
Only at night, was it I...
in my dreams...
Always the same dream, the same house...
My house
Now she's dead. I'm alive. Free.
And it's my house.
The won't drive me out again.
I'll do anything.
Anything.
The child will have to give in, don't you think?
And blood ties?
They must be more important than everything else.
They must be renewed.
Mustn't they?
Don't you think?
Why don't you ever answer?
I have to recover, give me some more.
Blood ties must be renewed.
My head aches.
Everything's spinning.
Julie, I see you here...
and there...
Why are you behind my back?
Where? -There.
Where? - There
Harold's tipsy too.
Madlyn, be a good girl.
Don't worry my dear, You won't be disturbed.
I haven't often the chance to tell you.
how satisfied I am with your services.
I am given compensation accordingly.
Not in the way I would like.
Madlyn is so lucky to enjoy your constant care
Could Monsieur make propositions that...
are more precise?
I had thought of taking Madlyn to the sea.
You could come with us.
Impossible! The more sight of a...
fish...makes me amnesiac.
Monsieur wouldn't consider the mountains?
A dreadful thing has happened!
Do not go in there!
You are quite mysterious, my dear friend.
Your concern tickles me, my sweet.
But I have reasons for this mystery.
Both our lives depend on it...
Has my coming troubled you?
Let's see...
Wait, my turn.
Your arrival awoke in me
another world that slumbered.
What you've done, we've done together.
We have given birth to night.
What would I do without you?
I hope...
that we might still gather
the stars of the 1001 nights?
What I've done I couldn't have undertaken...
but your presence, my sweet.
This monstrous child...
Will you not reproach me for it,
someday?
My sweet,
nothing could bring us closer.
My darling,
I wanted to hear you say it.
Our desires will crystallise together.
I'm scared.
Me too.
I'm scared, but we have no choice. - We've got to to do something.
Let's go.
Have to save her.
If we never came back, what would we do?
Happily, we've still got...
dinasour looks and clover
We must save the kid, all the costs.
I want to get her out.
We'll...get her out.
We'll get her out, but we can still be scared.
We can sleep too, even if we are scared.
I don't want to sleep.
I might dream if I sleep.
Everything's spinning.
I can't sleep.
I laugh when I'm afraid
Me, when I'm sick.
I feel sick to my stomach.
Once upon a time.
Twice upon a time.
Thrice upon a time.
Only, this time...
it won't be like that
not like the other times.
We'll get her.
Stop the machines.
But, the next morning...
Shit, we got here too early.
Time for a cigaratte.
Clever.
Clover.
Clever.
First round for us.
I can't see straight.
Where?
Don't try to be clover.
Up to the staircase.
A real mortuary.
We'll run into stuffed ghosts.
What do we do?
In there.
Let's go.
OK. You change. I'm going in.
You look like a kapo from the country.
You think you're so clover!
I'm going to brighten up your façade.
Make oranges grow on an olive tree.
Misss...Angéle...Terr,
Mys...tery...Angéle...
What do you mean?
This woman's a drag queen.
No, a defrocked nun.
Everything's spinning...my God.
Have a drink from the flask.
Give me yours.
Time's spinning too.
I'll be late for the commomile scene.
Here, take this one.
Eye of lynx and wooden head, yeah.
I've forgotten my lines!
I thought I'd already told you,
that the finest scents are the best perfumes.
That's good enough.
Alright, let's go.
I don't remember.
You could lose, but you always win.
You know it is forbidden her.
I've told you not to hide under the pillow.
What do you mean? I don't understand.
The harm you do her.
I do no harm.
Don't get involved in this, I know better than you know to handle her.
I've taken care of her for 8 months.
Let me act alone. I know better than you what I do.
May I have...the key to the red cupboard.
I don't know if I should understand you.
It's taking off.
I'm not a bit clover.
I put the key in the silence, I mean I mixed up 2 scenes.
We're in deep shit, they'll be on to us.
They didn't notice.
And you, Miss Ter, have you some
juicy secrets to tell me?
Imagine, my dear,
I glimpsed Camille in the attic,
rumaggin about in her things.
Did she say hello?
I sneezed. She didn't flinch.
They're up to their neck in this.
The 2nd act is about to begin.
See if the coast is clear.
Someone's used my syringe again.
You nuts?
It's incomprehensible and totally shocking...
Madlyn is still asleep?
Perhaps we should wake her?
But he, caught between two fires...
Let her sleep.
He has spoken to you? Has he said something to you?
It's me...I'm...
I'm getting stuck...these..
these whiffs of...
It's hermetic.
Well, the scent of these plants doesn't help things.
Look what I've drawn for you.
Let's see.
Excuse me.
I didn't mean to frighten you.
Isn't my flower pretty?
She's the mur...der...ess!
Shit!
The bitch! Tea without sugar!
I didn't know I was so emotional.
The bastards! They didn't even offer me champagne!
It's not funny.
Well, I've won our bet.
We'll talk about it when we're through with this.
I thought I was done for.
Whether it's Sophie or Camille, makes no difference.
We'll continue as planned.
Help me!
Take care of her.
Do not hide under the pillow.
Don't be afraid.
It wasn't youre mother it was Camille.
Do you want a candy?
I have one care for you.
Open your mouth.
You'll sleep now.
Sleep.
My house, my garden, my flowers...
My travel books...
I'm going to swoon.
It would have been enough...
I'm going to faint.
Your sister's getting married...
They'll come to live here, it's logical.
They love each other.
Lily-livered. Go drink some potion.
Wouldn't you like to travel, Camille? See the places you've dreamed of,
Shanghai, Macao, the Sunda Islands..
They gave me gentle words,
and money, lots of money
I went around the world twice...
You're later. I've been waiting for 2 minutes.
I had to answer the call of nature. I'm not made of clover.
Anyway, don't worry. They won't get us now.
Eye of lynx, we've got it made.
It's said you are the best catch in New England.
You are so beautiful with all this red.
You're so palid with all this black.
I must put my glass down.
It's divine. I'm drunk... - We're not in a melo anymore
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo...
Oh great clover, it's your turn.
Madlyn's hand.
Excuse me, it's time for the child's nap.
You'd lost your charm.
Not that way, follow me.
Put your leg here.
Wait.
Together now.
It doesn't hurt to fall off the moon.
But we failed again.
The dinosaurs took back their eyes.
Someone we know!
What will we play now?
No more playing, ever!
We're going out. We'll take you boating.
It's raining.
Got a smoke?
We'll chew it, OK?
Miss, you lost your squirrel.
